About Stella Nera Coaching
Empowering your Journey to Success
Why the name?
Stella Nera, Italian for Black Star, signifies the perpetual journey towards authenticity, purpose, and happiness. It's about living a story that brings you fulfillment and joy, and one that you want to repeat over and over again.
Why try coaching?
Professional coaching holds a transformative power. It is rooted in vulnerability, curiosity, and courage, and requires commitment to growth from both coach and client(s). It embraces the belief that the ability to fail courageously is an essential stepping stone towards reaching one's fullest potential. Whether private or team sessions, expect to explore, evolve, and take aligned action for lasting impact. In doing so, we will together tap into "levels of reality" and different types of intelligence.
Who is it for?
Coaching is for anyone (individuals, leaders, executives, teams, and organizations alike) willing to be curious and intentional about growth and change. We don't exist in silos, rather in the context of our relationships, shaping us both personally and professionally. Coaching is for those that are future-focused; it helps to guide you and your team or organization in shaping a clear vision of what’s possible. Coaching transforms both existing and emerging goals into actionable steps, turning aspirations into reality.
Who it is not for: There are instances where a different level of support is needed (or added). Click here for an overview on the differences between coaching, consulting, and therapy.
HOW I HELP:
I help leaders become better leaders, teams function better, and people feel and work better together.
Personal
How do you want to show up—at work, in relationships, with yourself? Deciding to work with a coach opens the door to hear our own voice(s), navigating new ways to grow and allow our authenticity to fully emerge. Gain tools for healthier communication, greater awareness, and deeper connections. Be more intentional in your actions and create the change you want.
Leadership
Leadership starts from within. As a leader of your own life, and as an external functioning role. Regardless of level—who you are, who you are not, and who you want to become—all greatly matter and require intentional, vulnerable investment. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, explore your edges, and dream into what's possible to achieve your goals. Goals that are realized and yet to be born.
Team
All teams and organizations face change, conflict, and design challenges. Team coaching goes beyond the surface challenges, working with the team as a collective entity—its strengths, weaknesses, skills, and culture—to drive breakthroughs in cohesion, resilience, and clarity. Explore the ROI of team coaching here.
Facilitation
Bringing in an external voice—whether as a consultant, facilitator, or keynote speaker—can spark powerful impact. Having experience as an educator, senior executive, and change agent, I bring fresh perspectives to every room. Click below to learn more about recent topics.

When applicable, adding individual or team assessments is incredibly impactful for deeper understanding of dynamics and strengths.
